Valparaiso

Sergio Larrain published only four books in his lifetime, and Valparaíso (1991) is the most memorable of them all. This new edition faithfully follows the unpublished layout designed by Larrain, as a response to the book published two years earlier by Hazan.
For the first time, this version presents more than 80 unpublished photographs, taken between 1952 and 1992. In this intimate work, the handwritten notes, letters and drawings help the reader share Larrains unique vision of the world. Along with Pablo Nerudas essay, especially written for Sergio Larrain.

Ivorypress was founded in 1996 by Elena Ochoa Foster as a publishing house specialising in artists' books. The project currently encompasses a wide range of areas and activities within the framework of contemporary art, including its own art gallery and bookshop, art consultancy and art exhibitions curatorship, editorial services, audio-visual productions and education.
